Attributes

Cold Spray is an entirely distinct family of processes for applying surfacing materials. Not only are coatings applied in solid state with Cold Spray, but the processes also have different application, installation, operation, and maintenance requirements than other types of processes such as Thermal Spray (THSP). In fact, the unique process attributes of Cold Spray can compliment THSP processes and enable users to enjoy a broad range of new surfacing opportunities.Attributes of Cold Spray technology include:

Alloys. The absence of melting means that the alloy you start with will be the alloy in the coating. Not only can alloys be used that match the substrate but you can also use alloys (e.g. an Aluminum alloy different than the substrate Aluminum alloy) to achieve:
